Win Music Videos – Results!

We’re extremely excited to announce the results for our Win Music Videos promotion.

With nearly 1,700 songs submitted, our team had to knuckle down for some solid listening sessions and evaluate each and every song on it’s own merit. The quality of music submitted was simply amazing which made the job really tough for us. After much deliberation we’re very pleased to announced the winners and runners up!

Winner: RawDeal – Make YourMind Up

We’re very excited to launch a Video Project for the first winner, charismatic South London hip-hop artist RawDeal. You now have the opportunity to make the official music video for his fantastic song Make Your Mind Up, from his latest album The Depth Of My Heart!

We loved the energy of this song. It’s a fun 60s northern-soul inspired party track that should inspire some very creative videos! We can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Submission deadline: 18 December
Total Payments: $5,000 as funded by Genero

Winner: Khari Mateen

Khari Mateen is a songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His production credits include tracks from The Roots’ albums Game Theory and Undun, and he’s collaborated with Joy Denalane, Jill Scott, Tye Tribbett, James Poyser, J*Davey, and Roots offshoot Money Making Jam Boys, among others.

In 2011, he began releasing solo recordings — Khari (EP) — and in 2012 he released his debut album “Wait for Sunrise”, a brief set of moody and slightly off-center R&B.

Genero will be funding a video project for Day By Day (unreleased so we can’t share the link publicly just yet). More details coming very soon!
